Don't worry about sponsorship. My company will pay to renew them for
the next while (within reason). Just send me the details and I'll pay
the the bill.

For some of these I am trying to finalise transfers of the domains to other people (who I have emailed directly).  A few of these (mostly iMatix related ones) will renew at least while there are still funds available in Pieter's registrar account.  For the others it is likely they will just be allowed to expire over the next 12 months.

Where there's a clear community supported successor to look after the domain/project I'm happy to help facilitate a transfer of the domain ownership.

So if you don't want to assume ownership of a domain, but do want to see it "stick round longer", then paying the renewal for another year could be a good option.  This is probably most relevant to the domains related to Pieter's books.  (All Pieter's domains are at Gandi, who definitely allow payment by anyone with a Gandi account for any domain at Gandi.)
